    Hi Sandra :) I am back on line with a new better quality PC ( my Christmas present to myself :P) and excellent tech support right in my area, they make house calls and for very little. I didn't like being without a PC.

    I like your selection of books, will look into them. I do the FridayFill~IN, I'll do it a little later in the morning.

    Have a nice week-end

    I should have a review up of The Cradle before too long. Glad to see someone looks at my blog.

    I love the sound of The City of Dreaming Books! And I agree with Gautami (and Beth), the covers of these books are great. Thanks also for introducing me to the Oklahoma Booklady!

    The City of Dreaming Books sounds irresistibly intriguing, I'll have to look into that one!

    Thanks for stopping by today!

    I added Elie Wiesel's book to my Pub challenge. I really enjoyed Night, even though it broke my heart.

    Definitely need to take a closer look at A Mad Desire to Dance! 'Night' held me captive for the few sittings it took to read it...

    I'm reading on "The Suicide Collectors" now. Very strange story. Will let you know what I thought of it as soon as I get it read. =)
